Sefwi-Anhwiaso (WN/R), Nov. 3, GNA – Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has commissioned a two-storey lecture hall for the Bibiani College of Health and Allied Science satellite campus at Sefwi Anhwiaso in Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai Municipality to provide a conducive environment for teaching and learning.
Dr Bawumia also cut the sod for the construction of a hostel to improve the accommodation situation of the College.
The Vice President, who is on a two-day tour of the Western North Region, attended a durbar of Chiefs and people of Sefwi Chirano and interacted with the constituents.
He highlighted the many policies and programmes rolled out by the Akufo-Addo led-government in the past three years, which included the School Feeding Programme, One District One Factory, and restoration of the teacher trainees and nurses’ allowances.
Others are cocoa pollination, scholarship package for tertiary students, provision of an ambulance per district, free water supply and electricity, and free senior high school policy, which had brought employment and relief to parents.
He said the Akufo-Addo Administration inherited a bad economy from the previous government but managed to transform it to improve the living conditions of Ghanaians.
He said the Free Senior High School policy had reduced the financial burden on parents, a clear indication that NPP had fulfilled many of its campaign promises and urged Ghanaians to give the Government another four years.
Vice President Bawumia said more than 90,000 health workers were employed within one and a half years while others had government scholarship to study abroad to improve their working skills.
Dr Bawumia urged the people of Bibiani Constituency to vote for Nana Akufo-Addo and the Parliamentary Candidate for Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai, Mr Alfred Obeng Boateng, to enable them to complete the ongoing development projects.
He said the NDC government would collapse the Free Senior High School policy if Ghanaians mistakenly gave them another opportunity.
Ogyeahoho Yaw Gyebi II, the Paramount Chief of Sefwi Anhwiaso Traditional Area, commended President Akufo-Addo for his unprecedented achievement within three and a half years in government.
Touching on the development of Bibiani Municipality, Ogyeahoho Gyebi thanked the President for his appointment to serve as the member of GNPC Foundation and the elevation of Bibiani District to Municipal status.
He also commended the government for the ongoing construction of Bibiani town roads, construction of Science Resources Centre at Bibiani Senior High School, ongoing construction of Astro Turf at Sefwi Anhwiaso, construction of 6 unit classroom block and girls dormitory at Queen’s Senior High School, and the creation of the Western North Region, among others.
Ogyeahoho, who is also the President of the Western North Regional House of Chiefs, pledged support for Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo come December 7 to retain the NPP in power to continue with the good works.
The Vice President was accompanied by the Western North Regional Minister and Member of Parliament for Bibiani Constituency, Mr Kingsely Aboagye Gyedu, Deputy Minister of Western North Region, Mr Alex Tetteh, Western North Regional Chairman of NPP, Mr Willams Benjamin Assuah.
The rest were the Chief Executive Officer of Cocobod, Mr Joseph Boahene Aidoo, Member of Parliament for Sefwi Wiawso Constituency, Dr Kwaku Afriyie, and Parliamentary Candidate for Bibiani-Anhwaiso-Bekwai, Mr Alfred Obeng Boateng.
